50 Times People Mishandled Their Tech So Badly It Made Tech Support Cry (Best Of All Time)

Birb butt.

This makes me deeply happy

Should we photoshop Indiana Jones into this picture Indiana Jones and the Dell of Dust Bunnies.

Don't stick anything in without using protection!

Why does it have a face? I'm freaking out a little.

Showing my age but I am pretty sure a magnet on a floppy disk corrupts the data

You mean: the cat chair is warming.

Well, the antennas need to point up, no?

1) *REALLY* good face mask. Like 'Biohazard-Level' Quality. 2) Industrial-Grade Shop-Vac. 3) LOTS of replacement bags for the Shop-Vac. 4) Replacement filters and motor for the Shop-Vac. 5) Hospital-style elastic pull-on booties and disposable paper coveralls. 6) Good Luck, We're all counting on you.

This happened to me at work once, everyone complaining the printer wasn't printing and no one owned up to loading the paper.

Dave!

Clearly a computer mouse.

What I like about this post is that there are people that have never seen this or dealt with it. My millennial son even- he was panicking because his electronic music thingie that he uses to DJ was not working- I am a retired geek so even though I do not know enough about DJ thingies I know enough to take that keyboard contraption, turn it over and smack it on the back to get the c**p out. The pedestal he keeps me on got just ten times higher.

Best use of an Apple.

Maybe they were sick of all the emails that kept coming through so put it into the oven next to the phone

You should turn the volume of your computer down. I'm sure that'll help. /s

I had so many co-workers in IT who simply could not point at an area of the screen, they HAD to mash their finger against it. No matter how many times I said Don't touch my screen, and when I did say it, they looked at me like I had said something insane. Never could understand that weird compulsion. So annoying.

As a not IT or electrically inclined person, can I ask what even leads to this level of craziness? Like how does it get this out of control?

I had a phone that had a battery which expanded almost half that much. Couldn't afford to replace it, so I just crossed my fingers every time I had to fire it up that it wouldn't burst. Pretty stupid as I look back on it now.

...upgraded to wireless, eh?

A moment of silence for the Enter key. May it rest in peace.

Okay wait. Why the actual f would you put a piece of TECHNOLOGY made of likely very EXPENSIVR MATERIALS in the oven. What have we come to? This is why we should just let some smarter animals rule. Who votes cats?

A lot of people who don't know better in corporate offices. Heaters right against towers, power strips plugged into each other, covering computer vents and fans completely, etc. Outside of IT/tech people often dont think about it. Also, it's weirdly common for people to run over their laptops 🤷‍♂️.

The snakes were taken to Cologne Zoo for a health check and identification. They were unharmed and not danger noodles, so they were released back outside near where they started.

How...?!

AAAHH! IT'S LIKE A GODZILLA MADE OF WIRES! WIREZILLA!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!

Who the heck thought this was the correct thing to do

Almost a whole office heater.

No worries, it is going to catch fire all by itself soon.

You should throw lemonade on it

Well that intercom is positively buzzing.

Again, when has putting something electronic in the oven EVER fixed it?

Gesundheit.

Mmm sandwich

Genius!!!

You know if somebody manufactured one that looks sort of like that people would buy it

I can't get over the hdds hanging from randomly mounting cases. 🤷

...hm, shud I use FOOD to clean my electronics?

With what? A sledge hammer?

Frustrated User with a Jigsaw. Next question.

"Computers run on Smoke. If it escapes, they quit working."

This is why God gave us duct tape.

I'm always amazed how long teens will use phones with screen cracks, banged up corners, and scratched up camera lenses.

Yeet that thing into an empty car park and run!

Nope, looks OK to me. /s

Tell me what your sofa looks like without telling me.

DON"T use lemonade to clean it!

So the adapter on the charger cord converts 120 volts AC to 19.5 volts DC. A car battery produces 12 volts DC which is not enough to run a laptop.

Fire? Depends on the condition of the ssd I expect.

User agreement for an Adobe graphics program.

Someone needs arresting.

It's fine. Each laptop is safely wrapped by two other laptops.

Minus one million.

Would be fine, with appropriate Velcro tapes on the protector and on the back of the phone.

Is that JB Weld??

How?

Was it Trump U?

Is their home a construction site?

Did the laptop have a booboo?
